    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    Kind of ironic that it is her government's inaction on the matter within their first month in power that has led to it (and a bit of hot weather and a hideous crime)

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    I assume you are talking about Euan Corbett, not Dmitry?

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    Yes, with ironic echoes of Enoch Powell. Who are 'they', by the way? And i don't suppose 'they' defined at what point?

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    It'll be a cold day in hell when i start buying into anything on Times Radio, GB News or Talk TV (especially with that fat racist c**t Mike Graham). Why *hasn't* anything kicked off since 2016 - there have been plenty of opportunities?

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    While i don't entirely subscribe to your theory, there is definitely a post-election vacuum with regard to control of immigration issues. While the new government would inevitably have some wriggle-room or honeymoon period for getting stuff in place, they have already done (or said they will do)...

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    I'm not convinced of that - i have a nasty feeling that would (possibly literally) inflame things. Was it the sentences being handed down by the emergency courts during the 2011 riots that made people think twice? Or was it the rain??

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    With regard to the earlier comments from the *former* counter-terrorism guy (no-one currently in post would be able to get away with openly criticising police tactics), the police response HAS been too passive. I saw a lengthy video (which was live-streamed at the time) of the original...

    Things that annoy you

    Never been. Went to Deal camping a few years back, never having been to Kent before (except passing through to get the ferry). Really lovely places (except Margate, which was a hell-hole). Might try Brighton some day. Wessun (as we Bristolians call it) has really gone down the toilet in recent...

    Southport Stabbing

    https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/home-secretarys-oral-statement-on-water-cannon My take on it: You don't want to get injured by being hit by the full force of the water cannon? GO HOME!

    Southport Stabbing

    I would fully support Starmer's Stormers having water cannon capability. I really don't know how it was deemed "illegal" when Boris tried it. Change the fucking law so it IS legal. It is reasonable non-lethal force. Can you imagine what US police would have done if confronted with the mob in...

    Birmingham Airport

    Week before last. 0400 arrival for a 0700 flight. Take a look at availability of Fast Track. The queues for Security were very long.

    Birmingham Airport

    Still drop at International and take the monorail to the airport.

    Birmingham Airport

    Get the train to International (or park there - it is cheaper than the airport), then the monorail to BHX. Wasn't too bad when we did it at 4am, and later in the day is better, i believe. If you are worried, see if you can shell out a fiver pp on Fast Track.

    Baby Girl Dies In Cov From Dog Bite

    And another one Woman dies in hospital following dog attack in Southend-on-Sea Two dogs in the premises, neither banned. One a bull mastiff, the other a Pomeranian. I wonder if they will ever figure out which one did it!

    Southport Stabbing

    It depends how quickly it can be mobilised. It sounds a bit like the "after the fact" approach to 4am wake-up calls after intelligence-gathering, rather than "get in there and sort the buggers out". The Tornado riot teams in the prison service are VERY effective but slow to react: The "mutiny"...

    Southport Stabbing

    It was allegedly sparked by the Roma community in Leeds, but there was an awful lot of south Asians taking part in the violent conduct.

    Southport Stabbing

    The police in London were trying to maintain law and order on the streets close to our seat of power and a number of high-profile targets (buildings, monuments and individuals). From what i have seen (ironically from media posted by people trying to spin it otherwise) they came under sustained...
